The Genboree Microbiome Toolset provides an interactive environment for users at all bioinformatic experience levels in which to conduct microbiome analysis. The Toolset drives hypothesis generation by providing a wide range of analyses including alpha diversity and beta diversity, phylogenetic profiling, supervised machine learning, and feature selection.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>We validate the Toolset in two studies of the gut microbiota, one involving obese and lean twins, and the other involving children suffering from the irritable bowel syndrome.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>By lowering the barrier to performing a comprehensive set of microbiome analyses, the Toolset empowers investigators to translate high-volume sequencing data into valuable biomedical discoveries.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2105-13-s13-s11","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,12,5]],"date-time":"2012-12-05T22:20:38Z","timestamp":1354746038000},"update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["The Genboree Microbiome Toolset and the analysis of 16S rRNA microbial sequences"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Kevin","family":"Riehle","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Cristian","family":"Coarfa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Andrew","family":"Jackson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Jun","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Arpit","family":"Tandon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Sameer","family":"Paithankar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Sriram","family":"Raghuraman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Toni-Ann","family":"Mistretta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Delphine","family":"Saulnier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Sabeen","family":"Raza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Maria Alejandra","family":"Diaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Robert","family":"Shulman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Kjersti","family":"Aagaard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"James","family":"Versalovic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Aleksandar","family":"Milosavljevic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,8,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"5296_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"804","DOI":"10.1038\/nature06244","volume":"449","author":"PJ Turnbaugh","year":"2007","unstructured":"Turnbaugh PJ, Ley RE, Hamady M, Fraser-Liggett CM, Knight R, Gordon JI: The human microbiome project.
